Which value for x would make the perimeter of this rectangle equal 48 inches

Mathematics
1 answer:
RSB [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

L = 16; W=8: are the correct values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 2 math statements:

First, for the perimeter:  2W x 2L = 48

Then, for the area:  W x L = 128

Next, we want to take the 2nd equation; then solve it for "W"

W x L = 128

Divide out both sides by "L", to get the "W" equals:

W = 128/L

Next, go back to the first equation.  Where it indicates "W", put in the value of:  128/L in its place; to get:

2L + 2*(128/L) = 48; which gives us:

2L + 256/L = 48

Multiply everything by "L", to get:

2L2 + 256 = 48L

Next, divide out everything by 2, to get:

L2 + 128 = 24L

Next, move the 24L over to the left, to get:

L2 - 24L + 128 = 0

(L-16)* (L-8) = 0

L-16 = 0; L-8 = 0

Which gives us:  L=16; L=8

Let's go with the L=16 first; back into the original equation:

f(16) = 2*16 + 2W = 48

32 + 2W = 48

-=32         -32

2W = 16

Divide out both sides by 2, to get:

W = 8

Next, test our values, by plugging them back into both original equations:

2*16 + 2*8 = 48

32 + 16 = 48        [Check]

L x W = 128

16 * 8 = 128

128 = 128          [Check]

Use the grouping method to factor x³ + x² + 3x+3.
Annette [7]

Answer:

D. (x + 1)(x^2 + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can group the first two terms and the last two terms.

<h3>Factor by Grouping</h3>
  • x^2 + x^2 + 3x + 3
  • x^2(x + 1) + 3(x + 1)
  • (x^2 + 3)(x + 1)

Factoring by grouping is the process of breaking down larger polynomials to smaller ones to factor. We can then combine like factors.

In the second step, we can see that we can rewrite x^3 + x^2 as x^2(x + 1), as both the two terms share a common factor of x^2. We can pull out x^2 from that expression. Similarly, 3x and 3 share a common factor of 3, so we can pull that out.

andre [41]

Answer:

$40 in interest and $240 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

find 5% of 200: 200 x 0.05=10

it's for four years, so multiply times four: 10x4=40

that's the amount of interest so now add that to her original 200 and you get 240!

A random sample is selected from a normally distributed population. The following sample statistics are obtained: n = 20, = 30,
Flura [38]

Answer:

b) The margin of error is approximately 3.24

e) The critical value is 1.7921.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step(i</u>):-

Given sample size 'n' =20

Given sample standard deviation 's' = 10

<u><em> Margin of error </em></u>

<u><em>The margin of error is determined by</em></u>

<u><em /></u>M.E = \frac{t_{\alpha } S.D }{\sqrt{n} }<u><em /></u>

<em>The level of significance ∝ =0.95</em>

<em>The degrees of freedom = n-1 = 20-1=19</em>

t₀.₉₅ = 1.729

M.E = \frac{1.729 X10 }{\sqrt{20} }

Margin of error = 3.866

Step(ii):-

<u><em> Margin of error </em></u>

<u><em>The margin of error is determined by</em></u>

<u><em /></u>M.E = \frac{t_{\alpha } S.D }{\sqrt{n} }<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Given another sample size n =30</em></u>

<em>The level of significance ∝ =0.95</em>

<em>The degrees of freedom = n-1 = 30-1=29</em>

t₀.₉₅ = 1.70

M.E = \frac{1.7021 X10 }{\sqrt{30} } =3.24

<u><em>Margin of error = 3.24</em></u>
